Herman Miller Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair

Select Finish

Hailed by Time as the Best Design of the 20th Century, the LCW — or Lounge Chair with wood base (1946) — began as an experiment in Charles and Ray Eameses’ apartment, where they were molding plywood in what they called the “Kazam! Machine.” The machine pressed thin sheets of wood veneer against a heated membrane that was inflated by a bicycle pump. From these humble beginnings came what would become one of the world’s most widely recognized and highly coveted chairs.

Molded magnificence.
Low-slung, and with an expertly crafted molded seat and back (no more bike pumps needed), the LCW cradles you in a comfortable position; rubber shock mounts between the back, seat, and frame buffer against any jarring movements. This original is an authentic product of Herman Miller, Inc. Eames is a licensed trademark of Herman Miller.

and Ray Eames

Design
is for living. That maxim shaped a widespread shift in design during the 1940s
and '50s. It was a revolution of form, an exciting visual language that
signaled a new age and a fresh start – and two of its prime movers were Charles
and Ray Eames. This husband-and-wife team's unique synergy led to a whole new
look in furniture. Lean and modern. Sleek and simple. Beautifully functional.
